Ways to make your computer even more secure online

If you want your house to be safe and secure, will you handover your house keys to a stranger? Yes, I hear a ‘No’. When it comes to computer safety, most of the hackers find their job easily done because many users give out key information about their computers themselves. This happens because either they aren’t aware or are too optimistic. There is a term coined for this called ‘PEBCAK’, which means ‘Problem exists between chair and keyboard’. Many people are easily manipulated to give their important information to others like passwords etc. While personal intelligence and awareness matches nothing, let’s learn about some easy tips for our computer security.

Use Mac OS or Linux instead of Windows. Windows is more vulnerable from the security point of view, while Mac and Linux are hard to crack.

Keep your OS updated. Turn on the auto-updates feature, and let the updates install by themselves.
